An Inconvenient Beauty is the fourth book in Kristi Ann Hunter’s Hawthorne House Regency series. This book does a wonderful job of wrapping up the series if you’ve read all of the previous novels, but it is really easy to read as a stand alone novel as well, because each book contains a unique storyline. For the best experience you should read all of the previous installments, because the characters do continue and might get a little confusing.

Griffith, the Duke of Riverton, is finally convinced that he really needs to settle down and find a wife. He sets his sights on Miss Frederica St. Claire, but for some reason, she has no interest in him, despite the urging of her parents that he is a wonderful match. Isabella Breckenridge is Frederica’s cousin, and although Frederica pushes Isabella and Griffith together, Isabella has some secrets she’s hiding and tries to stay away despite her attraction.
